It's happening right now... it's just not on film, it's not being recorded.

As a black man, you run from the cops. It's different now, but back when I was coming up, you run.

Over the years, a lot of rappers - Lil' Wayne, Ice Cube - have used my name in their songs. I'm a real touchstone of history.

We could all get along if we just hang out at iSurfing.

I sometimes feel like I'm caught in a vise. Some people feel like I'm some kind of hero. Others hate me.

As far as having peace within myself, the one way I can do that is forgiving the people who have done wrong to me. It causes more stress to build up anger. Peace is more productive.

I know and value what it means to wake up and be alive and to share my story. I'm so blessed to be here and to be able to talk about it.
